## Resource

As details of the US-Iran 14-point peace deal leaks, Trump and other world leaders at the G7 summit today are singing its praises - but is it any good? Venetia Rainey breaks down the proposed timeline in the Memorandum of Understanding that will see the war officially end, the Strait of Hormuz open up, sanctions on Iran lifted and something unspecified happen to Tehran’s enriched uranium.  One country is particularly unhappy: Israel. So how will Benjamin Netanyahu respond? Global health security editor Paul Nuki joins from Tel Aviv to deliver a blunt realpolitik assessment on why Trump is trying to make Israel the lightning rod for the fallout from his unpopular war.  CONTRIBUTORS: Venetia Rainey, co-Host and Executive Producer @venetiarainey Paul Nuki, Global Health Security Editor @PaulNuki CONTENT REFERENCED: The 14-point Iran deal in full – and how it favours Tehran https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/17/the-14-point-iran-deal-in-full-how-it-favours-tehran/ War of broken promises leaves Israel weakened and despondent https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/16/broken-promises-israel-weakened-iran-trump/ IDF soldier ‘just wanted to kill’ my son https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/14/idf-soldier-just-wanted-to-kill-my-son/ Producer: Peter Shevlin Executive Producers: Venetia Rainey & Louisa Wells ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
